Positano is a very special place and this hotel made the experience even that much more special. The host, Antonio, and his family (and dog Shiva!) own this villa and live on the first floor while the guest rooms are all upstairs. It can be difficult to find affordable hotels in Positano, especially during peak season, but Villa Nettuno was able to provide great accommodations without breaking the bank. The rooms have no frills, but are very comfortable and have everything you may need. The views from the balcony were unreal and I truly do not think I will ever stay at another hotel with views this good! The location was perfect. It is located in the upper part of Positano, which was less touristy, but still a quick walk down to the pier and beach. It was within a 5 minute walk of amazing restaurants, Da Vincenzo (make a reservation!), Next2, and Saraceno D'Oro. It was also very close to Casa e Bottega, a cute brunch spot, and Hotel Poseidon, where we got drinks at Il Tridente. While many reviewers commented on the stairs to get to the hotel, this is not a feature unique to this hotel. There are stairs everywhere in Positano- the city is built into a cliff! If you come to Positano, you must be prepared to climb stairs. Antonio is one of the most attentive hosts that I have ever encountered. We started messaging on WhatsApp even before our trip and he sent recommendations for activities, restaurants, etc. When our boat trip was canceled, he started doing research and sending me links to alternative options. Antonio is always available in the lobby or very responsive through WhatsApp. He is better than concierges at some of the most high-end hotels! It is clear that Antonio is invested in you making the most of your trip to Positano and leaving with great memories. Villa Nettuno is a hidden gem in Positano and we were so happy with our choice to stay here.
